[Crosswordy] Utena "Spinoffs"

Each clue describes a (nonexistent) TV series called "___utionary Girl Utena." All you have to do is name the shows. For instance, if the clue is, "This show is about a girl whose life's dream is to operate a guillotine," you say, "Executionary Girl Utena." As a bonus, if you get them all, their first letters will spell out a word. Please put all answers and guesses in spoiler tags.

• This show is about an athlete who is brought in midgame to cover for a teammate.

• This show is about a girl who helps write her nation's founding document.

• This show's Catholic main character seeks spiritual forgiveness for her sins.

• This show's title character can't keep straight who said what: "As Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote, 'Do you like green eggs and ham?'"

• This show follows a girl who enters criminal law in order to partner with Miles Edgeworth and William Jennings Bryan. (No, it is not Revolutionary Girl OnlyInThisLight.)

• This show is about a girl who tries really hard to keep the promises she made on New Year's Eve.

Re: [Crosswordy] Utena "Spinoffs"

Malna, you rocked this! Your #4 answer is not mine. "There's no evidence that Voltaire ever said 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' even though the quotation is commonly ___ed to him."

In #8 your thinking is exactly right, it's just not quite how we say it. The word is [electrocution(-ary)]!

And #9 you've left blank! I bet you can get it, though, if you haven't already!
